i just added these new goodies to my website…
the snow white winter woods skirt, which features a tawny owl brooch…
and the snow maiden matryoshka skirt i promised earlier…
and i also made the blue polish pottery print into an apron and trimmed it with giant red ric rac!
how do you feel about winter white? i think i’m really starting to like it! i just finished up this winter white version of my matryoshka skirt. i used sparkly metallic bronze and pewter ink, along with icy aqua and lavender regular ink.
i’m going to call it the ‘snow maiden matryoshka skirt’. it makes me think of russian princesses frolicking in the snow. maybe they’re wearing these boots…
(boots are by frye, from a couple of years ago)
it’s printed on unbleached cotton duck and has a beige velveteen hem. i should have it up on my website sometime next week. i’m thinking of making a winter white version of the winter woods skirt as well, with tan branches.
i just discovered this on etsy…did i just die and go to heaven!?!

i especially love the pinecones tied on at the bottom of the braids. nice touch! i might try that on myself!
this past summer was a great one for scoring some awesome thrift store art. i can’t remember when i’ve found such good stuff in such a short span of time. here’s a look at some of the goodies i picked up in the last few months…
i think this one is my favorite. cross-stitched fox stealing a rooster! it’s pretty big, 11½”x18½”. jenny spotted it, thanks eagle eye!
just can’t get enough of those mushrooms…this one is about 8″x10″
cast metal deer on a burlap background, from continental art-craft 1966. 11″x16″. there was a buck that went along with it but i didn’t get it. the buck’s antlers had been broken and sloppily glued back on and i liked the composition of the deer better, but i did feel a little guilty breaking up the set!
two yarn embroidered birdies with fluffy yarn flowers…these little cuties are only 5″x6″.
and an old salzburg souvenir shadowbox with real edelweiss inside. cute!
